BRITAIN AND GERMANY.
COMMAND OF THE SEA. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. London, December 12. Colonel Natusch Maude, speaking at the Authors' Club, said that during the late crisis (ieneral Langlois, the French generalissimo, came to London privately and afterwards informed the French General Stall' that England was able to fulfil her promise to send six divisions across' the Channel. This alone preserved the peace in July.
Other sources indicate that the British troops were intended to defend the Belgian frontier.
Lord Charles Beresford. speaking at Leicester, ridiculed the recent changes i)i the Admiralty. Officers had been dismissed at less notice than domestic servants received. The countrv ought to know the reasons for the dismissal of men in their prime, with experience behind them. Mr. Churchill started biidly with a mad blunder, and needed much watching. " We ought." said Lord Charles Beresford, "to be able to come to an agreement with Germany, while fearlessly stating our intention to maintain command of the sea."
